How did you find The Anthropologist from Mars? I've been thinking of looking it up since I saw Stephen Wiltshire (the photographic memory artist guy) on a TV show the other day.

[Tim]

It was very good. I enjoyed the section about Temple Grandin the most, but all of his case histories are fascinating I find. I have two more books by him in the TBR group.

Thanks for your input. I've actually wanted to read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat for quite a while now, but frustratingly enough the local library here doesn't seem to have it.

[Tim]

I think I have picked all of his that I own, except Island of the Colourblind, in used book stores.

It was cute. I don't think I would recommend it as a primer for taoism but it was fun and entertaining.
